A trip back to the Adirondacks

Pete and I (and maybe our dogs) might be going back to the Adirondacks this summer with Pete's sisters and nieces. I am so excited just thinking about it! We had such a good time back in August '07, and I would love the opportunity to go back.

Here are some pix from that trip:

Niagara Falls, which we visited on the way home

If we can go, I will be super-psyched. Really, I don't see why we wouldn't. Jeanette's looking into whether our dogs could go or not. If not, we'd have to get a sitter (and yes, they'd be heartbroken). But otherwise we're clearing our calendar for August again. I have no idea where I'll be working or what will be happening in our lives by then, but just knowing we have this trip to look forward to is happiness enough for me.

I might be posting pix to Flickr for this trip from '07, but I need a small break after uploading a billion Hawaii photos during the last several days. I'll let you know when I upload them though.

Yes! I recommend taking your time, renting a cabin in the woods like we did (near the road), checking out all the little shops/towns, go on plenty of hikes, dress warmly (it gets cold there!), and most of all, bring any and all cameras you have—you'll use them!

Have a question for the Magic 8 Ball?

An Ode to this Fine Day

It is a sunny dayAnd the walls in here are grayI cannot bear to missA day as fine as thisMy thoughts do tend to wanderAs I grow so ever fonderOf the endless skies of blueOver trees of emerald hueAnd the birds that sing so fairWhile the breeze toussles my hairAnd the grass beneath my feetWith flowers that smell so sweetSo if you wouldn't mindAnd tend to think in kindMay we venture out the doorTo enjoy the day once more?
